Description Innocenti Maresin 2012-08-08 09:48:27 UTC 
An attempt to browse to such pages as [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Special:…]] invariably gives “No pages link to Special:…”.
Examples are:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Special:Log/block
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Special:Version
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Special:AllMessages
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Special:SpecialPages
All these are linked from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Special_pages

Actually, not a serious bug, but I think that either Special: pages should be included to <tt>pagelinks</tt> (it is not a heresy since it contains even red links), or that answer in this situation has to be altered to something like “Information is not available”.
